Isolation of Pheromone Precursor Genes of Magnaporthe grisea

Fungal Genetics and Biology, 1999
In heterothallic ascomycetes one mating partner serves as the source of female tissue and is fertilized with spermatia from a partner of the opposite mating type. The role of pheromone signaling in mating is thought to involve recognition of cells of the opposite mating type. We have isolated two putative pheromone precursor genes of Magnaporthe grisea.

RECOMBINATION IN MAGNAPORTHE GRISEA

Annual Review of Phytopathology, 1998
▪ Abstract  The heterothallic ascomycete, Magnaporthe grisea, is the blast pathogen of rice and about 50 other grasses, and has potential for sexual and asexual reproduction. In most populations, data from mating type, fertility assays, and genotypic diversity strongly suggest that the pathogen is asexual.

Pyricuol, a New Phytotoxin fromMagnaporthe grisea

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 1998
A new pyriculol-related phytotoxin, designated as pyricuol (1), was isolated from a liquid culture of Magnaporthe grisea, the causal fungus of rice blast disease, together with two known metabolites, pyriculol (2) and dihydropyriculol. Its structure was determined on the basis of physicochemical and spectroscopic data to be 2-(3-hydroxymethyl-1,4 ...

Biochemical and molecular characterization of a putative endoglucanase in Magnaporthe grisea

Current Genetics, 2008
Microbial pathogens secrete an array of cell wall-degrading enzymes to break down the structure of the host cell wall to facilitate colonization of the host tissue. To better understand their role in the pathogenesis, a putative endoglucanase from Magnaporthe grisea was characterized in this paper.

Filamentous Fungi (Magnaporthe grisea and Fusarium oxysporum)

2006
A better understanding of fungal biology will facilitate judicious use of beneficial fungi and will also advance our efforts to control pathogenic fungi. Molecular studies of fungal biology have been greatly aided by transformation-mediated mutagenesis techniques.

A Cdc42 ortholog is required for penetration and virulence of Magnaporthe grisea

Fungal Genetics and Biology, 2009
Cdc42, a member of the Rho-family small GTP-binding proteins, is a pivotal signaling switch that cycles between active GTP-bound and inactive GDP-bound forms, controlling actin cytoskeleton organization and cell polarity. In this report, we show that MgCdc42, a Cdc42 ortholog in Magnaporthe grisea, is required for its plant penetration.

The Effect of Magnaporthe Grisea Toxin on Photosystem in Rice

Advanced Materials Research, 2013
Understanding the toxic effect of Magnaporthe oryzae on rice to breed resistant varieties is important for environment protection. The effects of four M. Oryzae physiological races were conducted on the photosynthesis and photosynthetic pigment contents relating to hybrid rice.

Having a blast: exploring the pathogenicity of Magnaporthe grisea

Trends in Microbiology, 1995
The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea has an exquisite level of pathogenic specialization, allowing it to infect and colonize rice, subvert the metabolism of the host and spread to new hosts. Through a combination of cytology and molecular-genetic analysis, a picture is gradually emerging of the many interlinked processes that are required for ...

Production of perithecia of Magnaporthe grisea on rice plants

Mycological Research, 1990
Coinoculation of compatible strains of Magnaporthe grisea screened for their perithecial production resulted in the production of perithecia on rice plants.

Screening and identification of mutants of Magnaporthe grisea by REMI

Frontiers of Agriculture in China, 2007
The plasmid pUCATPH was used to establish a transformation system in wild-type isolate M131 of Magnaporthe grisea. Six hundred and thirty-nine transfor- mants were obtained by restriction enzyme-mediated integra- tion (REMI) with hygromycin B (hyg B) resistance as a tag.
